I hope I am posting in the correct thread, if not I apologize as I am new here.
I need advice, I am so confused. First let me say I have never used PS, I have it, but not used as of yet. I know Paintshop Pro and wanted a tablet to be more creative. I was told about Bamboo and Intuos.
Since I will not be able to upgrade later on, I decided to save and buy the intuos4 medium size tablet. I was told it is not for PSP, but for Painter 11 and P.S.
Here is my problem. I only have 2 weeks left to return the tablet if I change my mind or cant figure it out. I enjoy oil painting in r/l, but wanted to do this digital as well, also wanted to learn to draw and create my own art.
many forums I have read for other people, suggest a cheaper tablet and upgrading later on. Since this will not be an option for me, I am wondering if I should keep this Intuos4 or save money to buy the Clintiq?
Reason I ask this, I was told the Clintiq tablet, you can see the image on the tablet as you work? Intuos does not have this. I played with it a few hours, could draw a few (childish) looking objects and did create a painting that looked like a kids attempt at painting. The hand to eye seems difficult for me. Of course I only played a bit and have not even figured out all the buttons on the tablet.
All this was done in Painter11, and it was my first time using that program as well.
In time, I will learn Painter, PS and hopefully other Adobe software. But for now I am overwhelmed and have to make a decision on the Intuos tablet soon.
I know I do not want to downgrade to the Bamboo, but should I wait till I could get the Clintiq or just stay with Intuos? From reading on the web, PS talks a lot about photographs. Although that would be nice to learn, I am more interested in creating my own art, drawing, oil painting etc. Although I am no professional, so far its all a hobby.
This was a big expense for me, the tablet and programs. I know the Intuos is over kill for a total newbie, but in time I will master this, will I need something more advanced later on?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It will help me to decide on keeping the tablet I have or returning and buying a better one at a later time.
Sorry for the long post. I dont know how many newbies are here. Wanted to be sure before anyone replied, they understood I cant work the tablet or the Program well.
Thanks for reading my SOS
